On the night of Saturday, September 7, in the semifinal match (1/2 final) of the US Open (US Open Championship), American representatives Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe will meet. Tennis players have played each other seven times at the professional level, and based on the results of these matches, Fritz had a solid advantage. As for the odds for today’s match, according to bookmakers, Fritz is the favorite in the match. You can bet on Taylor’s victory with odds of 1.38, while Draper’s success is estimated at 3.31 points.
At the current US Open, Fritz is ranked 12th in the world. And if we take the US scale, then Taylor is the best American tennis player. Fritz entered the top 20 just over two years ago when he achieved his biggest career success so far, winning the Masters in Indian Wells.
In five matches of the tournament, Fritz gave up only two sets to his opponents (one to Ruud and one to Zverev). And in principle, the very fact that on the way to the semifinals, Taylor defeated two representatives of the top 10 at once speaks volumes. And first of all, the 26-year-old American is in excellent shape. Compared to the Cincinnati Masters, where Fritz lost in the first round to his compatriot Nakashima, Taylor has made a huge step forward in terms of preparation.
Francis Tiafoe is the same age as his current opponent. He started the tournament as the 20th racket in the world, but thanks to his participation in the semifinals, he was able to improve his position in the ATP ranking by four positions. Interestingly, a year ago, Tiafoe was a representative of the top 10, but not for long. Francis has three titles to his name, the last of which was in Stuttgart last season.
If we talk about the American’s performance at the current US Open, it is worth noting Tiafoe’s victory in the quarterfinals against Grigor Dimitrov – 6:3, 6:7, 6:3, 4:1 Rt. The Bulgarian was the favorite in the fight, but could not resist the powerful pressure of Francois.
In the confrontations, Fritz is leading with a score of 6:1. Interestingly, Tiafoe won this only victory in their first match between them in 2016 at the Indian Wells Masters. After which Taylor won six matches in a row. At the decisive stages, tennis players met once – in the final of the “five hundred” in Tokyo 2022. Then Fritz won in two tiebreaks.
